Having recently moved to Texas from the midwest, I have no clue how to landscape our yard. What types of plants, shrubs,flowers etc grow best down here. Obviously they need to be heat and humidity hearty, but also want low maintainence as I do NOT have a green thumb. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance for your suggestions.
Impatiens, hostas, azalias, ferns
ask your local store…or look on the tab that comes with the plant
always buy native plants…the ones you will need for texas will have to be drought tollerant

Hi:
You live in a sub – tropical location now and Hostas and Azaleas are great plants. The Pieris Japonica will do well and so will ferns. Your main goal before you do any planting will be properly preparing your soil. If you are not into a lot of ground work, consider a container garden using a variety of shade plants. I will link you to the tropic section of my website. Browse through and see if any of these plant species will work. I will also link you to the gallery of plants section. There are a variety of plants as well as zones and descriptions. I will also link you to the site map, as this page has everything that is on the website. Browse through as there are many different articles with tips and techniques on all different areas of gardening and landscaping. I hope some of this information will be helpful to you. Good luck to you and have a great day!
